Joanna Hoffman was an Apple Computer employee in the 1980s when she worked on the Apple Macintosh team in 1984. Before being hired as the fifth member of the team in September 1980 by Jef Raskin, she was a physicist and archeologist. She was the only marketing person for more than a year, and she made many important contributions, including writing the first draft of the User Interface Guidelines. She is now the mother of two children, married to another Macintosh team member, Alain Rossman.
